Actually...I don't know why we don't invoke The Putin Doctrine and annex Cuba by force ala Crimea...the Cubano-Com's have never been weaker...it would be easy...all we really need is two Amphib's and their MEU's and aircrews, one Carrier for air support and a pre-dawn raid with F-117's to knock out what little C&C assets they have and that fricken island is ours.

Actually...Rich's question isn't one to dismiss without some consideration...

But the follow up question needs to be asked - who stands to benefit the most if the US pulls out it's diplomats? This change in policy was all driven by Obama...his fondness for socialist regimes and Jizzlamic theocracies knows no end...and in the end it is all about money...so if things turn frosty with Cuba again, who benefits?

IMO this could all be a Obama/Devel Patrick scheme to blame Trump for turning the clock back and get their crony capitalist pals in on the scheme...frankly I don't see anybody benefiting from this other than ProgTards and socialist/Pisslamic states...and some of the latter could be contributing too!
